Gold (XAU/USD) has shown a strong bounce from the clearly defined support zone around the 3280–3290 level on the 1-hour timeframe. This zone has held multiple times in the past, confirming its significance. Additionally, the 200 EMA (red) is aligned with this horizontal support, creating a strong confluence area. Price action has respected this level, forming a bullish reversal candle setup, indicating potential for upside movement.
Based on this structure, a long (buy) trade can be considered around the 3300–3305 range, ideally after a bullish confirmation candle or price holding above the EMAs. This entry provides an opportunity to ride the next wave upward while maintaining a favorable risk-to-reward ratio.
The stop loss for this trade should be placed just below the support zone—around 3275 USD. Placing the stop slightly below this area protects against fakeouts while still maintaining good risk control. This is a logical level where the setup would be invalidated if breached.
For targets, the first potential resistance and partial profit booking zone is near 3335–3340 USD. This zone acted as resistance during previous price swings. If momentum sustains, the second target zone is around 3360–3370 USD, which marks a previous swing high and a likely destination for bullish continuation. For extended upside potential, traders can aim for 3385+ USD, especially if the price action is supported by volume and broader market sentiment.
This setup offers a clean technical play with a risk-reward ratio of approximately 1:2.5 or higher. Traders can also trail their stop-loss once the price crosses above the first target to protect gains while riding further upside.
